Dembele Scores At The Death To Clinch Thrilling Champions Trophy Victory For PSG

Ousmane Dembele has scored a stoppage-time winner as Paris Saint-Germain beat Monaco 1-0 to win the Champions Trophy.

The France winger was unmarked at the back post to meet a low cross from the left by Fabian Ruiz in the dying minutes of the match, slotting the ball past the outstretched hand of the Monaco goalkeeper to send the Parisian faithful into raptures.

The win marks a triumphant start to the new season for PSG, who have been tipped by many to make a deep run in the Champions League this term.

Despite being largely dominated by their opponents for large periods of the match, Monaco were unable to capitalize on their superiority, with their profligacy in front of goal ultimately proving to be their downfall.

PSG, on the other hand, showed the kind of resilience and determination that has become a hallmark of their success in recent years, grinding out a hard-fought victory against a tough opponent.

Dembele, who has faced criticism at times for his inconsistency, will be thrilled to have made such a decisive contribution to his team's victory, and will be hoping to use this as a springboard to launch a successful season.

The Champions Trophy win is a welcome boost for PSG, who will be looking to use this momentum to propel themselves to further success in the weeks and months ahead.

As for Monaco, they will be left to ponder what might have been, had they been able to convert their dominance into goals.

Despite the defeat, however, there were still plenty of positives for the principality club to take from the match, not least the impressive performances of several of their young players.

With the new season now underway, both PSG and Monaco will be looking to build on this result and make a strong start to their respective campaigns.
